The process is impressive. I grew up around the corner from a gunsmith in Maine so I really appreciate the art and craft that goes into it.

I watched a fantastic BBC documentary on the history of the guitar. I have a cousin who is now at Johns Hopkins Medical School who built a violin as a part of the gifted and talented program and have an uncle who builds electric basses as a hobby. My dad logs with horses and another uncle runs a sawmill. One of my dreams is to have an instrument that my father cut the trees, one uncle sawed the wood, and the other built the bass.

In a related series of videos (not my family):

In watching the first video Brasilian Rosewood is extinct. The luthiers that have it usually keep it in a vault.

I find the combination of the art and science fascinating.
